Injunuity is a collage of reflections on the Native American world, our shared past, our turbulent present, and our undiscovered future. From Columbus to the western expansion to tribal casinos, we are taught that the Native way, while at times glorious, is something of the past, something that needed to be replaced by a manifest destiny from across the ocean. But in a world increasingly short of real answers, it is time we looked to Native wisdom for guidance. It is time for some Injunuity. Injunuity is a mix of animation, music, and real thoughts from real people exploring our world from the Native American perspective. Every word spoken is verbatim, every thought and opinion is real, told in nine short pieces and covering such topics as language preservation, sacred sites, and the environment. But rather than simply revisit our history, the goal of Injunuity is to help define our future, to try and figure out the path that lies before us, to focus on where we are going as well as where we have been.

Salal berries for digestive relief, Cedar tea to reduce fevers, and Spruce tips for nourishment and congestive relief... Traditional Salish foods and medicines are experiencing a revival in the Pacific Northwest. Indigenous peoples, environmentalists, and activists explore ways to nourish the body, mind, and spirit, fight food insecurity, address climate change and educate native youth about their traditions, which were often outlawed and nearly lost to colonization.

We tour the urban woodlands with elder and traditional foods and medicines knowledge-keeper Dr. Rudolph Ryser.

Join us on this journey toward a new sustainable future, built on strong healthy communities and traditional Indigenous knowledge rooted in a harmonious relationship with the earth.
Etthen Heldeli: Caribou Eaters travels with Dene First Nations people in Canada's north, as they search for the species so vital to every aspect of their lives - the barren-ground caribou. The documentary is a celebration of their rich ancient culture, and a visual document lamenting their traditions that could vanish, if the caribou disappear. In subarctic Western Canada, there are three caribou herds: the Ahiak, Qamanirjuaq, and Beverly. These animals represent the largest and last great mammal migration on the North American continent. Once numbering in the millions, the Ahiak and Qamanirjuaq herds have been declining in alarming numbers over the last twenty years, while the Beverly herd's migration routes have contracted so much that they no longer cross into the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This means that the Dene people of northern Saskatchewan, who depend on caribou for meat and hides, are now forced to travel hundreds of kilometres north into the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to reach the herds.
